Instructions for the use of geomantic compass

Compass is an important tool for geomantic operation, and its basic function is orientation. When we understand the knowledge of feng shui and regulating qi, we must first learn the basic method of compass orientation.

1. What is a compass and what is it used for?

Compass is called compass, which was created in the era of Xuanyuan Huangdi, and later passed down by the sages of past dynasties. It was revised and perfected by observing the ups and downs of mountains, rivers and plains on the earth according to the principles of Yijing and Heluo. It is used to determine the direction and survey the terrain. Most geologists and sailors call it "compass" or "Luo Geng", but seldom call it "compass". Most feng shui schools need a compass when surveying feng shui, which is an important tool for feng shui to reach heaven and earth. As an amateur, it is necessary to know the basic usage of compass for communicating or consulting practical problems of Feng Shui. It is impossible to accurately explain the exact sitting direction of feng shui examples, and it is one thing not to have a compass to measure; Having an inaccurate compass is another matter.

Second, the use of the compass.

As can be seen from the shape of the compass, the center of the compass is a circular Tianchi (that is, the compass used for orientation). Outside is a movable turntable with a copper surface and gold lettering on a black background, which is called an inner disk or dish. The circle on the disk is full of words, and it is customary to call a circle a layer. The first layer has 24 directions, and the outermost layer is a square disk, which is called an outer disk or a square disk. The tray is made of rosewood and is the most durable.

But the weight is heavier than ordinary boards.

There are four holes in the outer disk, and two fishing lines or glue lines respectively pass through the holes in the middle of the four sides to determine the sitting posture.

Compasses are mainly used for central magnetic needles. The inner plate outside Tianchi Lake is made of steel. The background color of Tianchi Lake is generally white, and there is a red straight line at the bottom. There are two red dots on the left and right of the red line at one end. The red line is located on the north and south sides. One side with a red dot is purple square (due north), and the other end is noon (due south), with a very sensitive magnetic needle on it. There is a small hole at one end of the magnetic needle.

When using the compass, hold the outer disk with both hands left and right, and separate your feet slightly. Put the compass between the chest and abdomen, and keep the compass level, not high left and low right, or high front and low back. Then stand upright with your back as the seat and your face as the direction. At this time, the cross silk thread on the compass should coincide with the front, back, left and right positions of the house.

If the crosshair is in the wrong direction, then the measured sitting direction will be biased. After fixing the position of the crosshairs, move the inner disk with both thumbs. When the inner disk rotates, Tianchi will rotate with it. Turn the inner disk until the magnetic needle stops and coincides with the red line of Tianchi.

It is very important that the end of the magnetic needle with a small hole must coincide with the two little red dot on the red line, and the positions cannot be lost. At this time, it shows that the fishing line (horizontal line) sitting in the square intersects with the layers of the inner plate. All kinds of information and materials we are looking for are displayed in the area where this fishing line crosses and covers.

However, there are ten or twenty layers on the compass. Which floor is the direction of sitting? That's the floor of the 24th mountain. It's near Tianchi. We use the "mountain" in the direction of the fishing line to indicate the direction, and the "mountain" on the side of the fishing line to indicate sitting.

For example, children are facing the mountain, and sitting on the mountain is noon, so we call it sitting in the afternoon. Knowing that you are sitting backwards in the house, put the compass in the center of the whole house, and you can find the direction of the whole house (or palace) from the sitting direction.

Three, the use of Feng Shui compass matters needing attention

1, you must first remove all ironware, electrical appliances (mobile phones, walkman ……) or items that will interfere with the magnetic field of the compass.

2. Note that there are no ironware, mobile phones, telephone poles, electric boxes, electric towers, etc. This will interfere with the electromagnetic field near the measurement location.

3. The disk surface of compass or compass (north) needle must be horizontal, and the pointer cannot be tilted up or down at the same time. At the same time, we should also pay attention to whether the joint between the disk surface and the disk body is tight, and there can be no looseness or rupture.

4, check whether the compass or guide (north) needle is normal, if bent, it shall not be used.

That's all. I hope this article is helpful to you.
